Valve Anti-Cheat System (VAC)

All VAC bans are permanent - Valve has a zero-tolerance policy for cheating and will not lift VAC bans on request.


The VAC system reliably detects cheats using their cheat signatures. Any third-party modifications to a game designed to give one player an advantage over another is classified as a cheat or hack and will trigger a VAC ban. This includes modifications to a game's core executable files and dynamic link libraries.
